The sun was red and the sky was blue
And I went rowing on the road to ruin.
How do you make a day like that?
How do you make it real?

The geese were making an evening sound,
And I went raving down the crazy paving.
How do you make a day like that?
How do you make it real?

And every day is just a joy to hold;
The needle is new and the patterns are old.
How do you make a game like that?
How do you make it real?

The sun was red and the sky was blue,
And I went rowing on the road to ruin.
How do you make a day like that?
How do you make it feel?

[instrumental piece]

sitenote: This is the first recorded song that features the famous echoplex but John was clearly carefully pioneering at first.
